"Apple in a Thicket" - Mounted Art Quilt

Just turned this up in one of my "unfinished objects" trunks. It is a 12”square art quilt with hand painted apple surrounded by heat altered Tyvek snippets in my stash of to-do works. The apple was finished with a layer of very high gloss acrylic medium. The dimensionality the gloss provides is not apparent in the photo. At first I thought that I would finish it with a hanging sleeve and label; however, I changed my mind and am going to mount it on a stretched canvas.

Mia, I did finally mount it and will bring to the December meeting. Thanks for commenting. I'm late responding because I was out of town when your note came in and I couldn't access it from my cell phone. Just found it on my computer. Ah, the joy of technology.

About Me

After years of painting, a passion for color, design and textiles led me to experimenting with quilted cloth translations of artistic visions. A new world opened--a world filled with new optical perceptions, limitless possibilities, and wonderfully creative counterparts. The journey begins anew each day.
